The Dead Were Once Someone Too is a blog designed to help remember the stories and people from years ago. It transcribes stories from newspapers that aren't already in the hopes of making those stories and the people involved searchable for researchers. This blog primarily focuses on the Brockton Daily Enterprise and The Brockton Times, both papers based out of Brockton, Massachusetts as well as cemeteries in and around the Brockton area.

About Me

My name is David J. McRae. I'm twenty-one and a resident of Taunton, Massachusetts. I've been doing genealogy since 2007. I got started in genealogy because no one knew much about my family tree. I wanted to learn more about it, began researching and have been doing it ever since. My family tree traces back to Sweden, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, France, and Greece.
